As the title mentions, there is a problem when it comes to running Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games on the Nintendo DS: the emulators have not found a way to produce sound! It’s a rather quiet experience playing Sonic the Hedgehog but even though the lack of sound is a shame, the game runs really fast [...]

The ROM Report is a series of articles that I started writting back when Nine Over Ten 9/10 was on Blogspot. The gist of the articles is mainly on retro games from consoles such as the NES, SNES, Megadrive, etc and how to run them on the Nintendo DS courtesy of emulation from a rich [...]

Here’s something I grabbed from The Star newspaper’s website: Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington, began principal photography on May 5, 2008, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The McG-directed film, which has a script by Michael Ferris and John Brancato, is the highly anticipated new instalment of The Terminator film franchise. [...]

Some readers would probably remember my video review of the Namco Dotgraphics Figure with Sound from my old blog. Consisting of 8 Nintendo Stage Figures and mascots from games such as Galaxian, Xevious, Rally X, Mappy, Digdug and Druaga, they each make an individual sound from the games. For those who missed it, here’s my [...]

These are pretty exciting times for being a console gamer in Malaysia. We have not one, but two official game launches ON THE SAME DAY. First up is Codemasters’ GRID, which was developed mainly by Codemasters’ Malaysian studio! Yup, the first ever current gen triple A title video game developed right here in Malaysia. The [...]

Issue 48 of the excellent (but expensive, at least over here in Malaysia) Retro Gamer magazine did a spread on the Spectrum 128. It got me curious because you can hardly find one over here, and mentioning Spectrum will more likely conjure up colours of the rainbow than the thought of a computer. Despite the [...]

This would be the cheapest Japanese import title for the Nintendo DS that I’ve ever come across. Ecolis is going on sale for just USD 4.99 at Play-Asia. It was previously going for USD 48.90. A RTS game that aims to increase environmental awareness, it does pack a rather large feature set for the price. [...]

Someone actually asked me on how to install Beup, a MSN client that runs on the Nintendo DS. I figured that this would make good material for nineoverten.com’s inaugural original Homebrew article. And it’s also a chance to try out really cool stuff. Prerequisites There a couple of things you would need to run Beup: [...]

I did a new corner banner for my old blog in order to draw attention and redirect traffic to my new site over here at www.nineoverten.com. I thought it was pretty interesting to do and I managed to get it done with help from the following tutorials: Visual Design’s Head Turningly Fun Corner Banners (here): [...]

Formula One is having the Monaco Grand Prix today, so I figured that it would be nice to take a break from proting my post and to have some racing action with strangers on Mario Kart DS’ WFC service. Round 1 & 2 I was still pretty rusty but out of the first 2 rounds [...]
